The following are some notes I received from Chuck Arnold re: rivet setting tools available from Brown Aviation tools (WWW.browntool.com). Good info to share.
"I got their part number 1002-16 for 3/16 rivets but it proved to be a little wide. I would order either a 1002-6 1/8" or 1002-11 in 5/32". You might also consider some of their offset setting tools to get in tight places. Be sure and get their plastic rivet caps to protect your parts.
I didn't and have a few scratches in the powder coat. They are part numbers 1003-1006 depending on the size of rivet setting tools you get.
When you rivet set your hammer around 45lbs. and it works a little slower but you will not mess up your parts."
